Melvin Harnum says the animals swam into the harbour on Friday and were soon pushed up into rocky, shallow water by swiftly moving sea ice
The mayor of a rural newfoundland community is beaming with pride after more than a dozen people from his town waded into the frigid Atlantic ocean to help rescue dolphins trapped by a crush of sea ice.
Harnum said in an interview that members of the local volunteer fire department and other residents bundled up and set out into the water to wrangle the thrashing dolphins onto large plastic sleds. Harnum says they then released the dolphins into the water where they had better opportunities to swim away.
